Happy birthday card

A card I gave to my colleague onher birthday half of a year ago =)

Golden doodles are wet-embossed. It was the first time I ever tried the wet embossing, so the result isn't perfect. Yet the spilled powder, which formed scattered single golden dots, gave the card an artistic and a little distressed looks, which I thought was ok.The sentiment "Happy birthday" was drawn with a small brush and embossing ink pad. LAter I found that gel pen is much better for that application, but that was the first time.The bottom of the card is decorated with two light-pink ribbons, one is wide, the other one is thinner and is a pleated ribbon.

Flowers in windows are quilled.

The upper flower is created with the use of husking technique:

I also added some acrylic half-beads. The green quilled leaves are brushed with golden ink pad to make them look correspondingly.
